Octoberfest: One of the Year's Biggest Celebrations

You can even start healthily before the drinking.

Sure it's all about the beer, food, music and friends (is that the right order?), but Campbell's big weekend starts on a healthy foot with a 5K run (so you can justify what comes next).

The 6th annual Oktoberfest 5K Fun Run starts at 9 a.m.  Runners and walkers will enjoy the flat course and fall foliage on the popular Los Gatos Creek Trail adjacent to historic Downtown Campbell. This family-friendly event is perfect for both runners and walkers. 

Registration is available Race Day between 8:00-8:45 a.m. Please note: Race Day Registration will not include T-shirt or goodie bag.
